I totally made that up, but I think it fits.
You see, there is a scarecrow sticking from a hay bale on my front porch. There's a pretty Fall-ish wreath on the door. There's a puknin out there too.
The Christmas CDs are out. The candles on the table are orange. There are some festive gourds in the fruit basket.
Giant Rubbermaid tubs sit half-opened by the garage door.
Thanksgiving is still 3 days away.
I haven't packed a single thing.
And the Christmas tree is up.
I'm having some holiday confusion and anxiety.
I always feel sad that our Christmas decorations go up, and then we go a-traveling. And I don't get to see them very much. So this year, the tree went up early.
I'm trying to convince the boy that we need to wait to put out EVERYTHING else.
'Cause when you go out of town for Thanksgiving and you are the owners of a particularly bad-mannered and devious cat... well...
Let's just say the wise men and nutcrackers deserve better.
She's already yanked some poor little snowman off the tree 895,629 times. By his raggedy little scarf. And the tree's only been up 48 hours.
Here's hoping your turkey fixins are ready and that you bought enough food.
I was at The Mart this morning, and it wasn't pretty.
God bless us, every one. Especially snowman ornaments.

I have to say....you never fail to make me laugh with your insane but oh-so-true posts. :) We're also sporting a scarecrow on the porch and 2 trees in the house. Hope you guys have a great Thanksgiving!!
You know Harriett, of course we DO NOT have a tree lol, but my almost identical to yours, black cat also likes to pull ornaments off the tree. We've learned to put a few not so special ones at the bottom for her. She also LOVES the tree every year, and drinks water from under the tree and not her dish as long as it is here. She guards "her" tree carefully, but only jumps out to attack one person who walks by, Kyle. I find it funny, he does not. (she has claws lol)
The title is perfect and funny. Don't move Mr. Snowman ornament up - if she wants him that bad she will just climb the tree to get him. Just let him take one (or895,629) for the tree.
A belated Merry Thanks-Scarecrow-Turkey-Mas to you!
